If Paul taught it was a shame to one gender and a glory to the other, maybe we just simply obey it.
Maybe simple obedience is too simple... I'm a simple man, so it suits me fine.

HAIR
1 Cor 11:2-10
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
1 Cor 11:14-16
14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
1 Cor 11:13
13 Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
1 Tim 2:9
9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
1 Pet 3:3
3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward-- arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--
James 4:3
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
1 Pet 3:1-5
1 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,
2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.
3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward-- arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--
4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,
xxx Hair is a testimony and authority to the angels. That we belong to Christ. And a glory to a christian whether man or woman. That we follow Christ.

4 have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?
7 Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?

I'm a woman, and my mum said to me the other day, that if the woman who washed the feet of Jesus didn't have long hair, them she couldn't have dried them.
We're taught that its better to keep our hair long and for a man to keep it short. Although we're not forced to do anything we have freewill to choose and some people can't grow their hair long. I personally have long hair and I also believe that those who belong to God shouldn't be worried about doing themselves up on the outside and they shouldn't worry about dressing themselves up that's all vanity, we should just be grateful for the basics, like having clothes to wear and food, water and a roof over our heads these are blessings. And we should be more worried about pleasing God than what we look like on the outside, true beauty is a pure heart cleansed by the holy spirit.
